I realize I can’t compare BMW Dallas race against Boston or Houston, but it’s not even close to comparison with OKC Run to Remember, which pleasantly surprised me with its fantastic organization, race course scenery, expo swag and email communication leading up to race weekend.
My pet peeve with this race is the guaranteed start in Corral A with purchasing a runners lounge pass. I can agree to other benefits of runners lounge, but starting in corral A should be for time qualified runners as it’s a safety issue with slow runners/walkers 2-3 abreast blocking faster runners who have been training for months to PR’s or BQ. One year I was seeded in Corral B even though I averaged 8 min mile half marathon races. I came upon a wall of walkers from Corral A at mile 2 and then spent next 5 miles weaving around slow runners until I was in the clear on Greenville. Dallas should use same mullet haircut philosophy as my local races: business in the front and party in the back. Again for me it’s a safety issue as I had almost taken down a slower runner in front of me because I clipped his heel on Turtle Creek.
